Revenant

Description

Released in 2001 as part of the Seventh Edition core set, the Magic: The Gathering Revenant card (#160★) remains a distinctive artifact of early 2000s trading card game design. This Rare black Spirit creature features a starfoil treatment that distinguishes it within the standard Seventh Edition distribution. The card’s mechanical identity centers on its ability to scale dynamically: its power and toughness are each equal to the number of creature cards in your graveyard, combined with the Flying keyword for evasion. Illustrated by Andrew Goldhawk, this card captures the gothic aesthetic prevalent in black mana cards of the era. Collectors often seek this card number for its foil finish and its role in demonstrating the graveyard recursion strategies that defined early Magic gameplay. The combination of the starfoil variant and its impactful rules text makes the Revenant a notable piece for enthusiasts of vintage Magic sets.
